In a gesture that touched the hearts of the residents of Lisala, unexpected and welcome news illuminated the local health landscape. Indeed, the national deputy for the Lisala constituency and Minister of Land Affairs in the outgoing government, Sakombi Molendo, recently covered the medical costs of 73 patients hospitalized in two health establishments in the city.
This generous initiative from Sakombi Molendo resulted in the full payment of hospitalization bills, medicines, medical and surgical procedures for 66 patients at the Lisala general reference hospital. At the same time, he also extended his support to 7 other individuals at Jeslin Rigano Hospital, a gesture which helped ease the financial burden of these patients requiring urgent care.
It should also be noted that this coverage of medical costs was preceded by a valuable donation of 5 tons of materials and equipment intended for the health structures in Lisala. This altruistic gesture can only help improve the quality of care provided to patients and strengthen the local health system.
Positioning itself in the global vision of President Félix Tshisekedi for universal health coverage in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sakombi Molendo has demonstrated its commitment to the most vulnerable populations. He called for general mobilization, encouraging private and associative actors to come to the aid of the most deprived, a call for solidarity which particularly resonates in these difficult times.
By affirming his determination to continue his charitable actions in the field of health, the national deputy for Lisala demonstrated his desire to provide constant and significant support to the most needy, whether at the local or provincial level. His commitment to public health reveals a deep sense of duty and generosity, essential values that deserve to be applauded and encouraged.
The solidarity, compassion and empathy shown by Sakombi Molendo in covering the medical costs of patients hospitalized in Lisala demonstrate a spirit of kindness and mutual aid essential to building a more just and united society. These exemplary actions inspire admiration and invite everyone to reflect on how, at our level, we can contribute to relieving suffering and creating a more equitable and caring world.
